The project Crafting Connections – A Fungal Approach explores fungi as both a metaphor and a method for collective learning and making. Inspired by Let’s Become Fungal (Ostendorf-Rodríguez, 2023), the project uses mycelium not only as a biological system but also as a way of thinking and teaching

The workshop introduced Year 8 pupils from Karasjok to working with clay and making small sculptures. The main purpose was to teach them about ecosystems and how all living things are connected. The pupils used the Karasjok River as inspiration to create clay pieces that show what lives or thrives because of the river.

This workshop introduced year 8 pupils from Karasjok to working with collaborative embroidery and painting in watercolours. The main purpose was to explore identity through craft.
